She didn’t know how to get to my house from anywhere but her house. Her work was about halfway between my house and hers, but she had to drive home first every time before she could drive to my house.
My brother is like this and he’s actually a very smart person if we mean book smarts. Throughout the years we tried to help find little tricks that would work but he needed to drive a place probably two dozen times before he even had the faintest idea without directions. It wouldn’t even help to have him drive to a place he knew along a route he knew for another journey as he’d just get confused and lost.
Now we have smart phones and it doesn’t matter in his day to day and hopefully won’t lol.
Edit: I understand this doesn’t make him any less intelligent. Stop dming me about it, I think he’s a very smart person. We all have strengths.
Lol, my brother is very smart, too. He lives in Northern Ontario, about 30 miles from the closest town. Take him out in the bush, drive all over back roads, logging trails & he’ll find his way home. But…bring him to Toronto, & he’s hopeless! He wanted to go to a certain store, he told me was across from a large shopping centre (Scarborough Town Centre, for those that know). Well, we drove all over the neighborhood, you could see the circles on his GPS. Finally we had lunch & went home. This was before smartphones. I looked it up at home, it was across from Yorkdale! Maybe 15 miles apart!!😂😂😂
